Outlook retail licenses

These licenses are available through retail purchase. Though retail license versions of Outlook do not include Exchange Server or Exchange Online, some can connect to those services to enable the Personal Archive and retention polices features.

Supported

Not supported

Outlook 2013 stand-alone

Outlook 2010 stand-alone

Outlook 2010 included with Microsoft Office Professional Plus Subscription

1Archive policies don’t appear in the Outlook 2007 user interface. They can only be deployed or changed by an Exchange Server administrator, Outlook 2007 users can view or change policies only in Outlook Web App (OWA), and only if OWA is enabled.

Without policies, the following is possible:

Drag and drop messages to and from the Personal Archive

Copy and paste messages to and from the Personal Archive

Use the Move menu to move or copy messages to the Personal Archive

Create client-side rules to move or copy messages to the Personal Archive

Users can only perform a search in the selected folder in the Personal Archive. Also, any search performed using Instant Search in a folder in the primary Exchange Server account — even when All Mail Items is specified — doesn’t return items in the Personal Archive.
